no one rivals kimba. >> first tree in the ground. >> certainly not empassioned. >> i don't have a problem speaking for the trees. somebody's got to do it. >> kemba came to her calling from an unlikely place. soledad prison. kemba was a prison guard for years seeing day in and day out what some might call the worst of society. kemba, however, saw them as those whom society had failed. >> if we just invest more in our young people through education, through jobs, employment, i think we can do wonders to invest in lives. after leaving soledad kemba moved through oakland determined to do something about it. although unsure how, at first, the answer soon became very clear. as clear as the sky above her

uninterrupted by trees. >> the block that i lived on had no trees. no tree canopy. it already mack makes you feel. >> so kemba started urban relief and 15 years later there are now 15,000 more trees in the city of oakland than before. trees shading the sun, housing the birds, cleaning the air and more importantly for kemba providing work and volunteer opportunities for the young men of oak lann. >> after they plant those four trees have them come over here. >> but to say kemba is not done yet is an understatement. kemba has her sights set on 1 million trees planted in oakland. not an easy tank, for sure, but one kemba says simply must be done. >> just planting those trees will give that immediate impact. it makes you feel really good. >> that does make a big difference and that was garvin thomas reporting.

cracks found in the walls the day before it collapsed. >> two police officers are recovering this morning after they were shot outside the italian prime minister's office in central rome today. the shooting happened near the president's palace where the new government was being sworn in. the shooting did not affect the ceremony, but we can tell you that one of the officers was reportedly shot in the neck and is in serious condition this morning. police do say that there is a suspect in custody. >> and new details this morning in the boston marathon attacks. we are learning that russian authorities secretly recorded a phone call between tamerlan tsarnaev and his mother in 2011. during the call the two reportedly discussed jihad. that information was not shared with american authority it is until now. in a second call officials say the mother was recorded talking to someone in southern russia who is now under investigation in an unrelated case. >> meantime, there is a special tribute to the youngest victim killed in the bombing attack two

weeks ago. martin richards' little league team honored him on opening day and they painted his name and hung his jers owe the fence. martin was just 8 years old. >> the boston marathon bombing turned the light hearted white house correspondent' dinner more serious to start last night. president obama addressed both the attacks in boston and the explosion of a fertilizer plant that nearly wiped out the town of west texas. we've had some difficult days, but even when the day seemed darkest, we have seen humanity shine at its brightest. >> the president saluted the first responders and the national guard as well as the people of of both of those cities, but then later there were plenty of jokes as well. many coming from the president himself. >> i recognize that this job can take a toll on you. i understand second term, you need a burst of new energy,

[ laughter ] >> i thought this looked pretty good, but no bounce. >> late-night talk show host conan o'brien headlined that event. >> and now to that developing story out of the central valley we told you about earlier where the man hunt is intensifying this morning for the man who deputies say stabbed the 9-year-old girl to death in her own home. >> this is happening in the town of valley springs east of stockton. authorities say the girl's 12-year-old brother saw the man inside their home and when he was spotted the man took off on foot through the neighborhood. the boy then went to check on his sister and found she had been stabbed. the girl was rushed to the hospital where she died. people living in the area were told to stay inside their homes and lock their doors while the

sheriff's deputies spent the night going door-to-door looking for that suspect. >> we are doing a thousand house-search and in some cases we are searching, you know, extensively in the attics and storage sheds. it is a difficult area to search. it's real remote. the grass is tall right now. so we are continuing that. >> right now police say they don't have much of a description to go off of. the killer, though, described as 6 feet tall, muscular and last seen wearing a dark, long-sleeve shirt and blue pants. police say he is considered armed and dangerous. >> a follow-up to a story we brought you yesterday morning. pittsburgh police released a sketch of a man who tried to kidnap a 2-year-old girl from her front yard. this man is believed to be in his 30s with dirty blond hair, 59 police say he has no relation to the girl and is not known to the girl.

thing, but it works. i myself back in the day experienced beg attacked and owing my whistle and having people respond. so just the startling, piercing noise of it often is enough to drive the people away, but it is also a way to summon help and get assistance there and witnesses there. >> jones says he's noticed an uptick in crime and it's less targeted and that is why sisters of perpetual indulgence say it is important to keep talking to people about safety. >> and coming up next on "today in the bay," warriors fever is taking over the bay area. we'll talk about that coming up.

and looking live at oracle arena in oakland right now. it's all quiet, but that will change in a couple of hours as as fans pack the coliseum

the as and they lost their third straight to the orioles in oakland 7-3. maybe some redemption, 105. >> still ahead on "today in the bay," backlash over governor jerry brown's education reform. larry gerston joins us next to tell us why governor brown's own party is speaking out. look at them kids. [ sigh ] they have no idea what it was like before u-verse high speed internet. yeah, you couldn't just stream movies to a device like that. one time, i had to wait half a day to watch a movie. you watched movies?! i was lucky if i could watch a show.

show?! man, i was happy to see a sneezing panda clip! trevor, have you eaten today? you sound a little grumpy. [ laughter ] [ male announcer ] connect all your wi-fi-enabled devices with u-verse high speed internet. rethink possible.

>> california governor jerry brown is facing rebellion from his own party to reform k through 12 public education spending. for more on this unexpected development let's talk with nbc bay area political analyst larry gueston. what's your issue here? normally you go forward when you have the pubpublic's support. >> the issue is money and lots of it. the question is where are we going to go with this money because we're not talking about $49 billion, kris.

$49 billion that goes for k through 12 education in california. far more than any other policy area in the state and given the state's poor performance in testing area such as science, math, english. the governor wants to shake things up with the way the state spends that $49 million. >> i don't think you will find anybody that says schools couldn't use more money. however, the governor's plan itself. that's the rub. the way that he wants to reform it is not something that everybody can get onboard with. a little controversial. the governor wants to earmark their 2 billion. at least two, maybe three for schools that have underperforming students or students who don't speak english. the money is going to go beyond the funds that all districts get and the usual aames of per capita, basis stuff that he gets and he believes that if you target these students they will have a better opportunity to make it through the system so that's the goal.

give more money to the poor-performing districts and we'll see better outcomes. >> and that brings around the pushback because people say it's wonderful for those kids that are in the lower-performing districts and what about the kids in the average districts or the high-performing districts? >> legislators and governors own parties say hey, this changes the way the state distributes funds and they say wait a second, it will penalize the districts that go the extra mile to raise funds through partial tax elections and through that extra bit of energy that brings up a lot of districts beyond what they'll be getting from the state. so some are also upset with another angle and some are also upset because hey, when this proposition 30 thing came around, 6 billion plus for the next seven years and all of these new taxes and nobody said anything about using the money that way, and that's leaving some people to say wait a second, isn't this a little bit of false advertising? so the pushback, if you will, is

from republicans, yeah, and suburban democrats who say, hey, you know what? this isn't fair for our schools and you know what? they've got the capacity here to make the governors' life pretty miserable on this issue. >> he seems intent on it and it seems this is part of what he wants his legacy to be so what can we say about a possible outcome? >> he had a press conference when he said don't tread on me on this one and that sounds good. great for tv, but the fact is it may not be reality. the best guess here is that the legislatu legislature, they'll commit to a limited and perhaps very limited version of a proposal thereby keeping traditional funding formulas in place. you know what? the big picture, though is something else. it has to do with the overall amount of money and i know $49 billion seems like a lot, but remember, we're the country's largest state and it simply isn't enough. the facts are the facts. california ranks 47th among the

50 states in per capita spending even with proposition 30. so unless we get our act together and unless california gets serious about raising new revenues, these kinds of fightses will only be exacerbated in the months and years to come basically between the haves and the have notes. >> we can't do it with just the wrapping paper and chocolate sales. we can't take any more. sorry. thank you very much, larry, we will see you next week. >> a large unemployment numbers were a disappointment. so how will the numbers look for the month of april? for more on that and what else is happening in the world of business, here's cnbc's tyler matheson. >> two events that wall stree r streeters will focus and they're not may day or the start of the national hockey league playoffs. first, it's the latest policy meeting on interest rates for the federal reserve rates aren't likely to move from the record low levels just yet, but investors will be listening for the fed's assessment of where the u.s. economy is right now and the fed's outlook for where

it may go next. then there is the april jobs report next week and march's unemployment numbers were a disappointment with 88,000 new hires so exists are hoping to see a lot more new positions during the month of april. with borrowing rates low and drivers looking to drive newer models wall street is expecting auto makers to expect car sales rose as much as 11% in april year over year. most companies have been reporting higher profits, but sales have been lower than expected mostly because of cost-cutting and not because of growth. >> more big earnings reports are due this week from companies like general motors, pfizer, time warner and nbc's parent company, comcast. >> samsung's new galaxy s4 will be shipping this week and it's already a big hit around the world, asia, parts of europe and now it's hoping to take a big bite out of apple's dominance and the iphone 5 dominance in the u.s.

good morning to you from san jose. sun trying to break through some of the cloud's hazy skies. we will see temperatures eventually climbing into the low 80s, closer to downtown by the afternoon. right now, interesting spread. the temperatures that we're seeing out there this morning, some 40s up toward santa rosa and novato and we'll see them jumping at 40 degrees and patches of low clouds and our temperatures inland running a little bit warmer and certainly for the afternoon they'll be warmer than we saw yesterday. we still have a sea breeze out there pushing the cooler air into fairfield and we'll see northwest winds picking up what would help to clear out the coast in the inner bay. right now visibility improves as the low clouds continue to break up and still some fog as you travel down toward gill roadway in the next hour. high pressure building in and warming temperatures and winds shifting from being a strong sea breeze to a little bit more of a north wind at times as we go through the next few days and

needless to say no signs of any rain and the dry pattern will continue throughout the next seven days and the temperatures will warm up for the second half of the week. today areas of low clouds and this is interesting and notice the coast now starting to clear out not just for the afternoon and the weather models suggesting the northwest winds will keep going overnight which means tomorrow morning and a lot less low clouds may not see fog in san francisco and the coast as our temperatures continue to climb up as we head into the start of the week. highs should be in the high 80s and mid-80s in san jose and we saw highs around the area yesterday. so about a 5 to 10 degree jump in the numbers and as we get down to gill roadway and should see 90-degree temperatures and mid to upper 80s around the trivalley over toward fairfield and near 70 in san francisco and still 60s on the coast for now, but later on in the week we'll see mid-70s as winds turn slightly offshore later in the week. 80s for santa rosa today and

mid-70s in oakland and you will see them climbing up a couple of more degrees since monday and breezy conditions will help the coast to remember what up. you will see the coastal temperatures jumping tuesday, wednesday and thursday. mid-07s and likely low to mid 80s and our low temperatures peeking right around thursday and could see low to mid 90s and the lows backing off for the end of the workweek and the ocean may conditioning will creep back on. seven-days of summerlike temperatures. >> i'll check my fleece, then. >> thanks, rob. >> style isn't the only choice you have to make when choosing a swimsuit these day, right, rob? how about new or recycled material. these suits are made partly out of blastec. a bikini takes about six blastec bottles out of the landfill and board shorts about 15.

>> you basically take plastic bottles thrown out as garbage and they melt the plastic bottles into then what becomes yarn which is then spun and knitted and we print it and the whole deal, but the beauty is taking waste and, you know, making product. >> the t-shirt makers say that the shirts and the polos made out of plastic, those are coming this summer. they look pretty normal to me. >> the duke and duchess of cambridge upwill celebrate thei second anniversary tomorrow. they've been in the public eye in the past few years and since they're expecting their first child this summer we like to look at them. still don't know if it's a boy or a girl. what's your guess? >> i'm going go girl. >> i'm going to go girl, too. >> i think she's been shopping for benchinpink. that's the rumor, anyway. >> i have to read the blogs you read. we'll have more local news for you tonight at 5:00, 6:00 and
